The best lots of Bordeaux varietals from Happy Canyon are chosen to make this wine. Inspired by the great wines from the Right Bank in Bordeaux, this wine features a Merlot-Cab Franc blend that is seductive and alluring. The wine opens with ripe blue and red berries and dark plums as the Mediterranean herbs from the Cab Franc jump from the glass. Soft tannins, oak and vanillin combine with a freshness and lively acidity that makes the lips smack. There is some hedonism in this wine, and that’s intentional. With some aeration in the glass, this wine blossoms with layers of violet, dark chocolate, graphite, and hibiscus. Enjoy this wine and for the next 5-8 years. Only 22 barrels made.
